CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 11, 2021

TO:
Honorable Nicole Collier, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3111 by Meyer (Relating to the criminal offense of online solicitation relating to a minor; creating a criminal offense.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions are the subject of this analysis.  The bill would amend the penal code as it relates to the offense of online solicitation of a minor.  Under the provisions of the bill, the definition of online solicitation of a minor would be revised.  

This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.  The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony-level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
